3 eggs every other day.now....nothing???

[LisaNJ]

I got my 1st egg last week from my 22 week old..she laid 2 more @ every other day (3 total)...but now she has not laid in the nest box since her last egg Thursday..it's now tuesday and still no egg.......My hens are free range but return to roost by their nest boxes at night...I search the entire yard and couldn't find any eggs anywhere....wonder what's going on........... I also have 2 speckled hens..that have not started laying yet) they are 2 weeks younger then my white hen...Now I am egg hunting in the yard..under bushes and in the flower beds...but did not see or find any eggs........

Could something be stealing eggs????

Not sure...but great question to my question.... I will be setting up a game camera to take pictures...maybe that will show if anything is stealing them....

How hot is it?
I have heard that the summer months can slow down/change egg patterns

Oh it's getting hot..again..mid 90's with humidity in the 60% and dew points in the low 70's...feels like a swamp for the next 7 to 8 days here in southern NJ. ugggg
